摘要:
An electron beam tends to slope downwardly as it is deflected horizontally to form a raster in a video display apparatus. The sloping of the beam can cause geometric errors in the raster, for example orthogonality and parallelogram errors. A raster correction circuit (100) substantially offsets the downward slope of the electron beam by modulating a vertical deflection current (I V ) with an induced horizontal-rate raster correction current (I CORR ), thereby substantially eliminating orthogonality and parallelogram errors in the raster. In respective embodiments of an inventive arrangement taught herein, the horizontal-rate raster correction current (I CORR ) is induced in the vertical deflection coils (L V1 , L V2 ) by magnetically coupling a filament pulse waveform (11), a horizontal deflection voltage waveform, or a horizontal deflection current into the vertical deflection coils (L V1 , L V2 ).

The invention relates to a method for recording longitudinal track bundles on an information medium. The method involves recording tracking information in special tracks in said track bundles. The special tracks are contiguous between each other. When recording a new track bundle a recording and/or reading head may be positioned using tracking information contained in special tracks of a previously recorded track bundle. Several examples of pattems used for coding tracking information in the special tracks are described.

VCR (1) connectable to a television receiver (2) and a decoder of scrambled signal (16) in which means are foreseen so that in a first stand-by mode of the VCR (1) called ECO1 mode, if no scrambled signal is received by the television receiver (2) only the video signal is routed to the decoder (16) through the VCR (1), and if a scrambled signal is received then also the audio signal is routed through the VCR (1). Due to the savings in power by switching off the audio signal, ECO1 mode consumption is about 3W.
摘要:
A controller and media-reader are used to identify various physical or logical characteristics of data stored on a pre-recorded medium. These characteristics may include, e.g., the kind of medium, the kind of data, the way the data is segmented or separated, the size of any data segments, the total amount of data or physical size of the medium carrying the data. A controller then compares the identified set of characteristics to stored sets of characteristics which are associated with respective content-identifiers. A successful comparison yields content-identifiers applicable to the data stored on the pre-recorded medium. These content identifiers may be, e.g., information identifying the titles and length of audio or video programs included on the media. The stored sets of characteristic and content identifiers may be located at a remote site.
